Posted by John | April 25, 2017 | Hired Attorney | Lawsuits & Disputes

Responsive, friendly and knowledgeable!!

I had a decades old matter that needed resolution. I contacted Brian's office from Florida and he called me the next day. Brian was able to research my 37 year old case, locate the documentation and resolve the issue promptly and at a very reasonable fee. I would definitely hire Brian again!

Avvo Rating

Our Rating is calculated using information the lawyer has included on their profile in addition to the information we collect from state bar associations and other organizations that license legal professionals. Attorneys who claim their profiles and provide Avvo with more information tend to have a higher rating than those who do not.

What determines Avvo Rating?
  • Experience & background Years licensed, work experience, education
  • Legal community recognition Peer endorsements, associations, awards
  • Legal thought leadership Publications, speaking engagements
  • Discipline Disciplinary information may not be comprehensive, or updated. We recommend that you always check a lawyer's disciplinary status with their respective state bar association before hiring them.
